Modern Office Technology is a wonderful class.
You can learn Microsoft Office, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Access, Outlook, and QuickBooks Pro.
You do not need keyboarding skills, computer skills, a high school diploma, a GED, or advanced ESL to take the class.
If you have Intermediate level ESL skills, you can take the class.
Starting in Summer Semester, Monday, April 25, you can get college credit for this class! If you follow a special program and complete the program in 8 weeks, you can get college credit from the College of San Mateo for parts one and two of Word and parts one and two of Excel.
For each part you complete, you can get 1.5 units of college credit.
If you want to get college credit for each part, here's how it works:
1. Enroll in the class.
2. Follow the class syllabus (the step by step guidelines) and complete all the work in 8 weeks
3. Teacher Diane will give you a grade.
